Desire Cruise Greek Islands - August 2023

During a recent trip to Pearl, we decided to book the 2023 Greek Islands cruise.
While we've been to both Pearl and RM, as well as several clothing-optional cruises, this will be our first Desire cruise.

On previous CO cruises, we could be naked almost anywhere on the ship but I see on the Desire cruises, it lists only "Clothing Optional Areas."
It's easy enough to assume the pool, hot tub, and top sun decks but are there any other places? Going to/from rooms, gym, spa, etc?

Do the hot tub areas see the same kind of activities as the hot tubs at the resorts?
If so, are they on similar schedules as the resorts?

Speaking of schedules, do the days at sea follow a similar flow as the resorts? Pool/Hot Tub/Theme Night/Playroom

We are looking forward to this cruise as I've always wanted to return to Greece since I last visited while in the Navy back in the early 90's.

We've been on a number of lifestyle cruises including Desire. And we will be on this cruise.

Clothing Optional Areas include the pool and the playroom only. Other areas require some cover up going between those areas.

Hot tubs are with the pool area so same rules apply which is clothing optional. But no sex takes place like the resorts. Sex only in the Playroom or your cabin.

Days at sea is pool time with games around the pool. Theme night each night. Keep in mind that most cruises in Europe are in a port almost every day. While in port, the pool is usually not clothing optional but we've seen where it was not enforced.

Hello.

Looking forward to our first Desire cruise! Just over 6 months away!

Would love to chat with others who maybe going or suggestions from others who have gone!

Thanks for the info landw2. We like to be naked as much as possible so it looks like we'll be spending most of our available time at the pool/hot tubs.
We might visit the playroom (is it open all day or just during certain hours?) but we never spend much time in the playrooms at the resorts so likely won't, if at all, on the cruise.

We look forward to meeting and making new friends on this cruise!!

Looking forward to our first Desire Cruise! Have been to both RM & Pearl several times and are excited to be going on this one. Please feel free to say hello here. Will be spending as much time in the CO areas as possible, especially the pool.

I've watched a couple of tour videos of the Azamara Quest and it looks like a rather nice ship.

Does anybody know what space they will be using for the playroom?

Deck plan for the Azamara Quest can be found here.

We were on the same ship for the Lisbon Barcelona cruise in May. The playroom was in the Deck 10 Living Room.

With lots of days at port, does anyone know if there are prearranged excursions to sign up for at the different ports of call or if it is just everyone on their own?

The playroom was in the Deck 10 Living Room.

Awesome. Thanks for the info.

This will be our first cruise in ten years. We have been on several clothing optional cruises but this will be our first lifestyle cruise.

Edit: Shit, I just realized I already said that part up in our first post. Oh well.

There will be some available through Azamara about 30 days out.

Has anyone heard any information on the Theme Nights? We about 2 1/2 month out and we’d really like to start planning our sexy outfits!!

They have posted the Theme nights: https://www.desire-experience.com/cruis ... rtainment/

Hopefully more will be posted there. It will be our first time on a Desire cruise and we are excited.
